I Am What Exists
I am the breeze, warm and gentle
brushing across body's moisture
pooling up on skin in summer
feel me cool scalding sun
I am the sun, makes you sweat
turns skin red then blisters.
don't be angry with me
you destroyed the ozone
I am the ozone, protected you
from scorching UV rays
gave seasons that changed
now glaciers melt to hurricanes
I am the glacier and the hurricane
All of you sit doing nothing
killing parts of me, angers me
I'll exterminate all of you, pests
I've been reborn many times
evolving for billions of years
killing off species after species
you're the greediest of them all
I'll take pleasure watching you go
I’m getting angrier by the day
selfish, egotistical little termites
devouring my trees, better eat up
I'll be coming for all of you
my Force, greater than any weapon
again my Earth may have to die
vanquish cancer eating Her alive
